Beschreibung des Verlags
Be it spring cleaning in a see-through apron while two wealthy women have sex or performing with 'Tinker Bell' while 'Peter Pan' whips her, the life of a teenage prostitute in Beverly Hills was never dull. Often dark, sometimes hilarious, but never dull.
Arriving in LA to attend college, but desperate for money, Sterry met a pimp who established him as a male prostitute serving a wild variety of well-off women (and occasionally men). This is his unflinching account of the twisted Wonderland of post-Sixities excess he encountered: peppered with frank descriptions of the work of a 'sex technician'.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ten years ago, this debut memoir from Sterry burst upon the literary scene with an energy and inventiveness that captured his little-known subject matter teenage life in Los Angeles as a rent boy working for a benevolent pimp named Sunny whose "rich, generous, horny friends," Sterry explains, "pay good money to party with a boy like me." Now back in print, Sterry's memoir still crackles with its unsparingly honest approach: "I catch myself in the mirror, seventeen-year-old hardbody belly, pitprop legs, zero body fat, and huge hands. I'm seduced by the glitter of my own flesh." Scenes from Sterry's early dysfunctional family life not only add pathos to this tale of fall and resurrection but assure readers that he never sees himself as better than his clients, such as Dot, the wealthy 82-year-old, whose only desire is to experience cunnilingus for the first time a desire that Sterry readily fulfills. "Even though I have no home and no family except for a bunch of prostitutes and a pimp, even though I have no future... at least I'm good at this."
